Prominent Northern youth
organisations, on Tuesday,
rose from a joint meeting
called ‘Kaduna Declaration’ to
issue a serious threat to the
Igbo residing in the region
urging them to begin making
arrangements to relocate out
of the North.
The groups gave the Igbo up
till October 1, this year to
leave the region.
Their declaration was
premised on the shut-down of
major towns in south eastern
part of the country on May 30,
by members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) and
their sponsors.
These Northern youths
organisations, which had their
arrowheads in attendance,
include Arewa Citizens Action
for Change, Arewa Youth
Consultative Forum, Arewa
Youth Development
Foundation, Arewa Students
Forum and Northern
Emancipation Network on The
Igbo Persistence for Recession
among others, stated
categorically that, never again
will they fold their hands and a
time has come to take their
destiny into their hands.
Mallam Abdulazeez Suleiman,
who read the statement on
behalf of others, at the popular
Arewa House Kaduna, on
Tuesday said, the region was
tired of the marriage hence the
need for restructuring as been
pronounced by many notable
Nigerian leaders like former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar
and Sen. Shehu Sani and
others.
According to them, “The
persistence for the
actualisation of Biafra by the
unruly Igbo of South-Eastern
Nigeria has lately assumed
another alarming twist which
involved the forceful lockdown
of activities and denial of
other people’s right to free
movement in the South-East
by the rebel Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) and its overt
and covert sponsors.
“This latest action and similar
confrontational conducts
which amount to a brutal
encroachment on the rights of
those termed as non-
indigenous people residing
and doing lawful businesses in
those areas illegally
demarcated and defined as
Biafra by the Igbo, are
downright unacceptable and
shall no longer be tolerated”.
They said they observed that,
concerned by the persistent
Igbo threat to national
integration, they had met with
several others and reviewed
the current position of the
North and jointly came up with
the declaration.
Other part of the statement
read, “the Igbo people of the
South-East, without remorse
for the carnage they wrought
on the nation in the 1960s, are
today boldly reliving those
sinister intentions connoted by
the Biafran agitation that led to
the very first bloody
insurrection in Nigeria’s
history.
“Emboldened by the apparent
indifference of the Nigerian
authorities, the Igbo
secessionist tendency is
widening in scope and action
at every stage, with adverse
effects on the law-abiding
people of other regions
residing in or passing through
the East, while the Igbo leaders
and elders by their utterances
and direct action or inaction
appear to support and
encourage it.
“This is happening irrespective
of the undisputable fact that,
Igbos have done and are doing
more damage to our collective
nationhood than any other
ethnic group; being
responsible for the first violent
interference with democracy in
Nigeria resulting in a
prolonged counter-productive
chain of military dictatorship.
“It is on record that since the
inception of the current
democratic dispensation, the
Igbos have shown and
maintained open contempt and
resentment for the collective
decision expressed by majority
of Nigerians at various stages
via generally acceptable
democratic processes.
“While these provocative acts
of aggression persist and
grow in dimension with each
new move, leaders of the
North whose people are at the
receiving end of the threats,
appear helplessly unperturbed.
“Without pursuing a resolute
action-plan, these northern
leaders have adopted and
have been dragging its people
into a pitifully pacifist position
in order to sustain an elusive
national cohesion that has
long been ridiculed by the
Igbos.
“From today, June 6, 2017,
when this proclamation is
signed, the North, a critical
player in the Nigerian project,
hereby declares that it will no
longer be disposed to
coexisting with the Igbos and
shall take definite steps to end
the partnership by pulling out
of the current federal
arrangement.
